Subject: Re: Cannot access certain sites like Google, Hotmail
I've tried just about everything.

Checked the Hosts file and only entry is localhost. Turned off my
Zonealarm and AVG anti-virus. Ran Spyware Doctor and cleaned up things
it detected. Have cleaned out cookies and cache. Cookies are turned on
also.

But problem persists!

Actually there was one time I shut down AVG anti-virus and suddenly i
could access www.google.com (but still not www.hotmail.msn.com). But
after playing around for a few minutes, the access was gone again. I
really suspect it's some DLL that's loaded by AVG and some other
programs, but I'm not sure again if it's really related to AVG cos
after I reboot again and shut down AVG, I still can't access google.

I have a screenshot of Startup Inspector for Windows showing my startup
programs. What's the email for this group so I can attach it?
